An excellent lawyer

As a small business owner in New York City, I was recommended to Dan when I ran into some legal problems with a NYC government agency. He was terrific. He's extremely professional: smart, supportive, reassuring and very responsive. I highly recommend him.

Hired Dan to represent a first time offender in our family

The ultimate goal in our case was to negotiate a felony charge and have it reduced to a misdemeanor. Through Dan working with and developing a relationship with the assistant district attorney, over the course of ten months, we were able to accomplish that goal. Throughout those ten months, Dan researched all avenues with which to attain this end result, and his attention to detail and follow up with us was excellent.
Dan's best attribute I think is that he manages expectations with his client very well. Emotions run high in a criminal case (as they did with us), and by not promising what he could not deliver upon, he kept us at a fairly even keel. Dan also commands a presence in the courtroom with his professionalism and his knowledge, thereby giving a client the best possible chance for a positive outcome. We highly recommend Daniel Hochheiser.
